Barcelona 1994

The
setting of this film is at the end of the civil war in Spain in the early
1980’s.Ted Boynton is from
Chicago Illinois and he is working in sales for the Barcelona office of a US
corporation making electric engines.Unexpectedly, his cousin Fred comes to visit.Fred is a lieutenant junior grade in the US Navy and his job
is to work damage control on anti-American sentiment.

This
film is listed as a comedy but I didn’t see anything funny?Ted is very verbose and he can expound
at length on any subject.Fred is
completely different and as a result, they are constantly butting heads.Another aspect of Fred is he invents
shocking stories.Ted and Fred
don’t seem to realize they present themselves as targets for factions against
Americans. 2 1/2* (This movie is so-so)
